Each Number Better Than The
Last.

The March numb Der of GoDEy's
LADY's Book is brighter and more at
tractive than either of its predecessors
for 1887. The steel plate illustration

as they always are, showing designs
that will please all the fair sex. A new
story entitled THE Mauleverer Money"

Indiridnalitr Of nazors.

BARRIERS declare that razors are even
more capricious than fickle woman, and
the gentlemen who shave themselves rec
ognize the individuality or idiosyncrasy of
razors. Some razors need rest after
using, and no amount of strapping win
make them efficient unless they are hu-
mored, while others will be the better for
constant use. Some razors viii be better
If strapped Immediately after using; others
require the edge TO be put on before appli-
cation. Many gentlemen who shave them
selves have set of raZors-onc for each
day in the week. The more expensive the
razor the more capricious is the finer tenn
pered steel blade. As q rule new razor IS
not rs profitable as well tempered old one,
and BARRIERS declare that the breaking in
of a razor is a matter Of skill as important
as the training Of colt. Once ascertained
the temper of razor can always be relied
on.-New York Times.

The Sultan at Prayer.

The sultan stands erect with his face to
the east and his feet on his praying car
pet, and, placing the thumb of each hand
under each ear, he spreads his hands like
wings, lifting his ears upward as if to
catch any sound from heaven, and with
his hands in this position must turn first
to the right and spit, then to the left, and
then, dropping his hands to his side, hold
them rigid while he bends his knee and
then his whole body forward from his
knees until his forehead touches the floor
three times. He repeats his prayer in this
position, and gets upon his feet again
without touching hfs hands to the floor,
and again makes wings of his ears, and
again spits right and left, and his prayer
is over. Every Turk believes that he has
two attendant spirits, one good and one
evil, and as he is not sure which side the
emissary of Satan has pre-empted he spits
at both to make sure.-Charleston News
and Courier

"Melican Heathen."

1t would waken the force of the fol-
lowing story, which we find in one of our
secular exchanges, to dwell for mo
ment on its obvious moral:
"A Chinaman applied for a position
Of cook in Western city. The lady of
the house and most of her family are
members of fashionable church, and
the Chinaman was questioned closely:
do you drink whiskey?' No, said he,
i Clistian man. Do yov play cardss'
NO, Clistian man. He was employed
and gave great satisfaction. He did his
work well, was honest, upright, correct
and respectful. After some weeks the
lady gave progressive euchre' party.
and had wines at the table, John China
man was called upon to serve the party,
and did so with grace a acceptability.
But the next morning he waited on the
lady and said he wanted to quitwork.
why, what is the natter she inquired.

Lies Evcntide.

Sunshine at fourscore years. you
ask. Can there be all that you mean by
gladness and brightness there. Do not
go to men of the world, who have tasted
all the cups of earthly joy. and found
that, pleasant as they are to the taste,
they are exhaustable, and had only the
nectar sweet in them of passing moments;
hut go to the Christian hearts, who have
found all human joys purified and per.
fected by friendship with God, and whose
spiritual joys have been supreme, and
they will tell you that religions ways are
ways of pleasaners, and that all her paths
are peace. Such pleasurer are perma-
nent and progressive, enlarging the life,
and enabling us to feel that in the passing
desires and expectations of the soul we
pledge and prophecy of that immortal
life which the Gospel SO clearlo and fully
reveals. Sunshine? Yes, for Christians
are conscious of not having lived in vain;
they see the harvests behind them of
grace and blessings; and they believe that
de who has been faithful in the past
will not fail in His promises to be with
them when they go down the valley of
the shadow of death.

California Grit

1t has often been remarked by stran.

knack of succeeding where others. fail.
Let me here explain how this comes
about. The early corners reasoned in
this wisel Il am possessed of as good ordi.
nary intelligence as that man; and If be
can do such and such thing, why can't
l.. So without combining themselves to
any particular specially of business, to
which they may have been brought up.
they addapted themse Ives to any situation
and put all their wits and energy into
trial. While people in most other parts
OF the States, having been brought up in
any particular line, will only follow that
and no other; merchant or mechanic,
failing to obtain proper livelihood at
his own calling, at once gives up in des
pair. But the Californian will in turn be
a constructor, merchant. broker carpenter,
blacksmith, farmer. agent or laborer,
suiting himself To circumstances till he
can make circumstances suited 10 him.
The freaks of mere fortune, however.
in this State, have been something mar
velous. Intellect and good management
in many cases have had nothing to do
with success, for Can point out those
